ONE-DAY DIGITAL TREATMENTS

Here at SmileMore we provide same day treatments, even for some dental implants. Using the efficiency of digital dentistry, we are able to offer patients a permanent solution for their missing teeth in a single visit.

Our scanning technology takes thousands of images per second, so we capture a high-resolution digital rendering of the inside of your mouth. This 360-degree scan gives us a detailed roadmap for treatment planning. Digital dentistry enables us to plan and place implants in the best location, contributing to a better overall result for you. Our CEREC machine manufactures bespoke porcelain crowns from the 3-D images, creating a crown that fits perfectly and matches your surrounding natural teeth. With technology at our fingertips, we generate amazing and fast results for our patients.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a long-lasting, natural-looking treatment that replaces missing, damaged or decayed teeth. A dental implant is an artificial, titanium root that we fuse to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration.

The dental implant replicates the function of a natural tooth. When the bonding is successful, it should feel comfortable in your mouth. Afterward, we add a tooth-coloured crown that blends in with your new, confident smile.

Depending on the treatment, we can add additional dental implants that serve as a foundation for a denture or dental bridge.

Uses for Dental Implants

Dental implants have a wide range of uses that go far beyond replacing missing teeth. They are often the healthiest option as they prevent further problems from occurring. Dental implants can:

  • Replace missing teeth to help with chewing and eating
  • Stop teeth adjacent to missing teeth from ‘falling’ into the gap
  • Prevent teeth opposite to missing teeth from over erupting down into the gap
  • Prevent jaw bone from disappearing after a tooth is extracted
  • Hold a full denture in place and stop it from wobbling about

We always recommend seeking advice about dental implants as soon as you have a tooth extracted to prevent these problems.

Oral Health Benefits of Dental Implants

A dental implant is a fantastic tooth replacement solution that offers a number of health benefits. An implant is fundamental in improving your oral health. Benefits of a dental implant include:

  • Reducing the risk of gum disease by preventing bacteria and plaque from building up against your exposed gum.
  • Preventing bone loss and supporting your jawbone structure, making sure no bone complications arise in the future.
  • Aligning neighbouring teeth and keeping them straight, rather than losing their alignment and becoming crooked.
  • Improving your speech and bite.

The Dental Implant Process at SmileMore Dental Care

Our dental implant process follows four comprehensive steps.

1

At Smile More Dental Care, we offer a free consultation on our dental implant treatments. You can visit a member of the team at our private cosmetic dental clinic, discuss your objectives and learn which type of dental implants can help you.

1

2

We use radiographs, scans, and a thorough examination to provide a detailed health assessment of your current oral health. We’ll take a closer look at your neighbouring teeth, gums and jawbone. This allows us to plan your dental implants accordingly and determine if any further preparation is needed beforehand, such as bone grafting.

3

Once our dental team determines your suitability for dental implant treatment, we’ll schedule a convenient time and date for your surgical treatment. During surgery, patients generally receive IV sedation when we secure the implant into your jawbone.

We see you again as the treatment site heals, and the mouth tissue grows and accepts the implant. Once fully healed, we check the implant treatment is successful and then place the colour-matched crown, bridge, or denture onto it.

Be sure to keep all recommended review appointments so our dental team can check for the proper functioning of your new implant-supported teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Replace a Missing Tooth

Our firm advice for patients is to consider how they will replace a missing tooth BEFORE the tooth is extracted. If your bone resorbs after a tooth is extracted and you do nothing it makes future treatment with a dental implant very difficult. In these cases, there is no bone available to insert the implant! You should discuss with your dentist how you wish to restore your smile once the tooth is removed.

It’s possible to immediately place a dental implant into the socket as soon as the tooth has been extracted. This option requires careful planning and cannot be decided on the day we remove a tooth. Immediate implants have the distinct advantage of supporting the bone around the extraction site. This offers less bone resorption and a far more predictable cosmetic result once the implant is replaced.

How fast can you get a dental implant?

Though the process requires surgery, it is typically completed relatively quickly and with minimal discomfort. The first step is to implant a metal post into the jawbone. Once the post has healed and fused with the bone, a dental crown is attached to the top. The entire process usually takes between two and six months, though it may take longer for some patients. Because dental implants are such a versatile solution, they can be used to replace one tooth or an entire set of teeth. For patients who are looking for a fast and reliable way to regain their smile, dental implants are an excellent option. Sometimes dental implants can be placed on the same day a technique known as immediate loading implants.
